Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Some otherwise promising selections of Actinidia chinensis (kiwifruit) have fruit that are too small for successful commercialization. We have therefore made the first detailed study in diploid kiwifruit of the effects of chromosome doubling induced by colchicine on fruit size, shape and crop loading. METHODS: Flow cytometric analysis of young leaves and chromosome analysis of flower buds and...
